the question, whether offices are really an
element of strength to political party.

eminent Offices in the state, have passed
from republican to democrat hands, and
Col. Morton the representative democrat
of the City, has been given a splendid po-
sition at Washington, and still the dcmoc-
racy did not have life enough left, to put
a set of city officers In nomination: and
now Calais turns up with the following,
preamble and resolution passed unani-
NASTY by an unusually large caucss of
democrats of that city;
"Whereas, Owing to the widespread dis
satisfaction existing in the Democratic
